CARIAA RiU learning guide

Abstract:

This pocket guide is a tool to aid reflection on research-into-use (RiU) activities in order to learn from them. The content is derived from the CARIAA RiU Learning Guide, which provides a comprehensive overview of the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) approach to RiU. In the CARIAA approach to RiU, regular reflection on RiU activities within and across the program’s four consortia allows the program to adjust its RiU strategies based on collective learning about RiU. Cyclical reflection and action are crucial to ensuring that CARIAA research is relevant and used. This pocket guide includes “cue cards” intended to guide four kinds of reflection moments that should feed into each other: event, quarterly, six-monthly, and annual.
